The
following is general information on uploading
web pages to your site. Please see our Tutorials
for instructions on using specific applications
for uploading and managing your site.
Your
site's home directory on our server is
/web.
There
are a number of different methods of uploading
your web page. These methods are described in
their own section in our Online
Tutorials. The most important thing to remember
for UNIX based hosting, that
applies to all of the methods, is that YOUR
MAIN INDEX PAGE MUST BE NAMED index.html, NOT
index.htm. Otherwise you will not be
able to see your web page even after you upload
it.
If
you are hosted on Windows 2000 and/or using ASP
you can use index.asp, index.htm, or default.asp,
default.htm as your default page. Please note
that index.html is the "first-order"
default name, if it exists it will be the default
page. To ensure your default page works as expected
use only one of the above.
If you wish to set up page redirection you can
use a
javascript redirect or META Tag redirect. Make
sure to include regular HTML links from your page
for non-javascript browsers and search engines.
Examples:
Using
the META Tag
 <META
HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.yourdomain.ca/main.asp">
The CONTENT value sets the time delay before the
page is redirected to the indicated URL.
JavaScript
Example
Place JavaScript statement in <Head>
Section
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
pause_time = 5000; // sets delay time for redirect
//make 0 for no delay
transfer_location = "mainpage.asp";
// URL of page to transfer to - can be relative
or fully-qualified path
function
transfer() {
if (document.images)
setTimeout('location.replace("'+transfer_location+'");',pause_time);
else
setTimeout('location.href = transfer_location;',pause_time);
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
Place onLoad statement in <Body> tag
<body
bgcolor="white" onLoad="transfer()">
FrontPage
Users
IF YOU ARE USING FTP TO UPLOAD
YOUR FILES, MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT DELETE ANY
FRONTPAGE FOLDERS OR THE FILES postinfo.html OR
_vti_inf.html IN YOUR WEB FOLDER. IF YOU DO THIS,
YOUR FRONTPAGE EXTENSIONS WILL NO LONGER WORK.
We
recommend that you use only FrontPage "publishing"
to maintain your site and prevent file locks |
